    Hog Island located inside the market
    Steven C.

    A must visit spot for anyone visiting Napa. There's countless shops in this building all serving something different. There was a sushi spot, Jewish deli, El Poeteño which sells empanadas, Hog Island who specializes in oysters. So many places. Many of these places have their own brick and mortar's through the region. Knowing that we won't have to travel so far to try those popular spots is a nice luxury. Parking was scarce. Inside was packed as people pass by without so much as an "excuse me." There's plenty of indoor seating to sit down and enjoy the snacks or dishes you just purchased. Oxbow was a very fun and happening place. It's lively and full of a great mix of cultures. I can't wait to return. Only a stone throws away from Sacramento I believe that to be real soon.

    I was really excited to visit this market. And it actually surprised me. I was expecting a bigger type market but it was like an indoor, cozy, high-end food court with additional vendors. I know there's a term coined for this besides 'market' but not sure what it is. Me and my daughter were hungry so b-lined to Sumo Dog. Not necessarily a hot dog person but I am a fan of asian food. We split the Bacon Banh Mi. It was surprisingly my favorite. Also ate at Moroccan Street Food and split a flatbread with grilled chicken. Pretty tasty. Next visited El Porteno empanadas and ordered banana and pollo. One savory and one sweet. Also had to try Kara's Cupcakes - vanilla coconut. I only can imagine that this place can get tight if there were more people but I liked the vibe and all the food options. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back to taste other food vendors.

    A tourist attraction worth visiting in Downtown Napa. This market offers a variety of options, including modern American cuisine, Mexican cuisine, pizza, chocolates, cheese, olive oils, wines, baked goods, and a mini farmers' market. Easy to walk around, less crowded, but the food is decent. Not much Asian food here. Dining here can be pricey. Highly recommend trying out fresh oysters at Hog Island. There's outdoor seating available. Service is based on indoor market vendors. The parking lot is small, so I had to park across the street.

    Unique market with a handful of local vendors inside which sells olive oils, coffee, desserts, and unique ingredient gifts. We were able to walk around and browse the shops, as well as grab a latte to go.

    I didn't take very many pictures at the Oxbow market but there are a lot of options inside of the market whether it is coffee or a quick bite or later when they open up the restaurant and bar, there's something for everyone. We ate at Love-ski and had coffee at ritual. At Love-ski we ordered mini latkes and a pastrami bagel sandwich and both are very good. At ritual, we ordered a drip coffee and a pumpkin latte coffee which was also very good. We were there at 9:30 in the morning, so most of the stuff was not open yet, but there were a few shops that were, and we plan on going back to take a look around later in the day. The coffee and the food were decently priced for the area so it's an easy grabbing go place. Service both places was good also.

    This is a wonderful market area just outside of downtown Napa. They have their own dedicated parking area for while you shop and eat. Restrooms are located outside the main entrance. The market has high ceilings with natural lighting, many diverse restaurants, food stores and groceries, a brewery tap room, plus a quick walk around the island to other small restaurants and shopping areas. They have outdoor and indoor seating as well. I perused all the stores and explored but wasn't really here to purchase a lot. If I was staying nearby, this would easily be a place for multiple stops to try different restaurants.

    This is a very cute marketplace to visit if you're in Napa or in the neighboring cities! You can probably spend 45 minutes to an hour walking around the market and looking at the local booths. Great spot to get souvenirs for yourself or others too. There's also a good amount of stores near the Oxbow Public Market to roam into. Out of most of the stores, I enjoyed trying out the empanadas and the spice store for fun.

    Cheese and wine merchant

    This market is on the smaller side, but the shops inside make it worth a visit. One of my favorites was The Olive Press, an olive oil and balsamic store. They press their own locally grown olives once a year and offer a huge variety of oils and vinegars. I loved that they had self-serve samples so you can taste before buying. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they sell everything from small bottles to gift sets--even by the ounce, which makes for great souvenirs. Another highlight was the Cheese and Wine Merchant in the corner. They carry all kinds of cheeses, and I tried a triple cream Brie for the first time--rich, creamy, and indulgent since it's 75% butter fat. Perfect with some fresh bread from the market. The market also has practical amenities like restrooms outside the building, a water fountain, and a central dining area with stalls arranged around the perimeter. At the front, there's a small produce market, and we also tried Sumo Dog, a hot dog spot with unique and fun toppings. As expected, prices are higher than what you'd find outside, but the variety and quality make it a nice place to wander, sample, and enjoy a taste of Napa.

    Been here multiple times over the years but unfortunately when we happen to come at 9 am many of the shops were not open yet. Pictured are some of the lovely vegetables that were nicely displayed for sale.

    The Oxbow is a staple here in Napa. It's a must visit if you're looking for something to grab for your stay. If you like oysters, check out Hog Island. They also have fresh cheese and meats at different stand. You can do wine tasting as well. They offer different types of foods, including smoothies, coffee and sweet treats. Must check it out.

    Are you hungry but not sure what you are hungry for? Oxbow is probably the place for you. With a good selection of dining and a few shops to check out, this small market should be on your list of places to visit while in Napa. I hit Oxbow up between lunch and dinner for a quick snack. I don't know how busy things get during peak hours, but off hours there were not major waits for a few seats at even their most popular dining bars. They layout is convenient to navigate and they have a parking lot should you be driving. It is only a short walk from the busy park of main street Napa. Check them out!

    Quality/Quantity - We have been unlucky on our last few visits. We got here too late when most businesses were closed... 21+ businesses; see website for specifics. 40k square feet. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Small parking lot, but now there is a new parking lot/overflow lot, approximately a block away. Open 7 days a week till 9pm. But really, the majority of the businesses are closed before then. Service - N/A. Again, on this trip, most/all businesses were closed. Price - N/A. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. We have been regular customers since then.

    THAT WAS FUN! Had my…read moreone and only taste of the Napa Farmers Market, and it is thee place to be on Saturday Morning. Tons of parking, tons of vendors, tons of yummy food! Since I'm passing thru Napa, I didn't buy any "produce", as I will be on flying, and that doesn't make sense. However, I was able to taste and try many of the food vendors present. First off, OHM Coffee. As it was 83 degrees, I didn't want anything hot --- I opted for the Iced Matcha Latte. It was delicious! Nothing that made it "stand out", but I know a good Iced Matcha when I taste one --- definitely started my rounds around the market right! For breakfast, I've been craving a good breakfast burrito and found the vendor, "Earth's Bounty". It was a bit of a healthier take on the chorizo and potatoes --- they swapped it out for bacon and roasted veg. which included zucchini and sweet potatoes --- but I was pleasantly surprised! I devoured the whole thing!! The tortilla was warmed perfectly, and the melted cheese that crisped up on the grill made it EXCELLENT! To top it off, I visited a stand selling "MAUI STYLE POTATO CHIPS", helmed by the most friendly woman, named Sara. She was so awesome, and let me sample whatever I wanted. Needless to say, I purchased 3 bags of chips for $27. If bought individually, it would be $10 per bag. Such a great market to visit whenever your in Napa! 10/10!

Every Saturday and Tuesdays in Spring from 8am to noon, the market is open and well attended so best to get there early to ensure there is enough inventory left! The market sells bags and has customer service people to assist and make sure there are no dogs and managing safety. The vibe is friendly, informal and inviting with lots of food samples and food trucks on site for breakfast or lunch. Prices are better than the grocery stores as there is no middle man between you and the farmer, fisherman, rancher, chocolatier, or honey maker!
